Hijama Points – Hijama Sunnah Points for Hijama Cupping Therapy
Hijama Sunnah Points
There is a total of 9 points of the body where Prophet Muhammad Peace is upon him have performed hijama cupping. These are the sunnah points of Hijamah.
In Ghazwa Khaiber while our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was poisoned, he took Hijamah at 3 points on the KAHIL, we feel that a cup was applied behind the heart (at the left of KAHIL),
& the third was either a little bit lower to this point OR on the right side of KAHIL, Allah Knows the best.
ذكر عبد الرزَّاق، عن معمر، عن الزُّهْرىِّ، عن عبد الرحمن بن كعب ابن مالك: أنَّ امرأةً يهوديةً أهدَتْ إلى النبىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شاةً مَصْلِيَّةً بِخَيْبَر، فقال: “ما هذه” ؟ قالتْ: هَديَّةٌ، وحَذِرَتْ أن تقولَ: مِنَ الصَّدَقة، فلا يأكلُ منها، فأكل النبِىُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأكل الصحابةُ، ثُم قال: “أمسِكُوا”، ثم قال للمرأة: “هل سَمَمْتِ هذه الشَّاة” ؟ قالتْ: مَن أخبَرَك بهذا ؟ قال: “هذا العظمُ لساقها”، وهو فى يده، قالتْ: نعمْ. قال: “لِمَ” ؟ قالتْ: أردتُ إن كنتَ كاذباً أن يَستريحَ منك النَّاسُ، وإن كنتَ نبيّاً لم يَضرَّك، قال: فاحتَجَم النبىُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثلاثةً على الكاهِلِ، وأمَرَ أصحابَه أن يَحتجِمُوا؛ فاحتَجَموا، فمات بعضُهم.
Abdul Razzaq narrated that, “A Jewish woman brought to Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him a roasted sheep that she had poisoned, while he was in Khyber.
Our beloved Prophet asked, ‘What is this, She said, a gift, being careful not to say that it was from the charity so that he would not eat it.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and Sahaba (his companions) ate from the sheep, then our beloved Prophet said, “Stop eating”.
He said to the woman, ‘Did you poison this sheep?’ She said, “Who told you that”? He said, this bone,’ meaning the ewe’s leg that he had in his hand.
She said, “Yes”. He said, ‘Why?’ She said I thought that if you were a liar, the people would be relieved from you.
However, if you were a true Prophet, it would not harm you.’ Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him then used Hijama Cupping therapy thrice on the KAHIL (upper part of his back) and commanded that his Companions do the same.
Yet, several of them died.”
وفى “سنن ابن ماجه” عن علىّ: “نزل جبريلُ على النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم بحجامة الأخْدَعَيْنِ والكَاهِلِ”.
Narrated by Ibn Majah, on the authority of Ali Radi Allah Anh that Angel Jibrael alaihis salaam advised Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him for Hijamah at Akhda’ain (posterior jugulars) and KAHIL (upper back ~ between the shoulders).
عن أبي كبشة الأنماري أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ( كان يحتجم على هامته وبين كتفيه ) رواه بسند صحيح أبو داود, وابن ماجه
Reported by Abu Kabshah Al Anmari Radi Allah Anh that Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him took Hijama on Haamah & between the shoulders (which is KAHIL). Narrated by Abu Dawood & Ibn-e-Majah
وفي رواية عبد الله بن بحينة قال : احتجم رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم وهو محرم بلَحي جمل في وسط رأسه ، ” أي ما فوق اليافوخ فيما بين أعلى القرنين ” – صحيح البخاري
As reported by Abdullah Bin Bujainah Radi Allah Anh that Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him took Hijama on the center of his head (Yafookh) while he was in Ehraam while his journey to Makkah. (Name of the place where they stopped is mentioned as Lahyi Jamal)
و روى الطبراني : “عليكم بالحِجَامَة فى جَوْزَةِ القَمْحْدُوَةِ، فإنها شفاءٌ من اثْنَيْنِ وسَبْعينَ داءً”.
“Use Hijamah (wet cupping) on the Qamahduwah (above the nape cavity), for it cures seventy-two kinds of ailments”. (Narrated by Tabraani)
وفى “سنن أبى داود” من حديث جابر: “أنَّ النبىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم احتجم فى وَركه من وثءٍ كان به”.
Abu Dawood narrated that Jaabir Radi Allah Anh said that Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him used Hijama (wet cupping) on his hip because of the debilitation he suffered from.
عن أنس رضي الله عنه : ( أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم احتجم وهو محرم على ظهر القدم من وجع كان به ) وراه أبو داود في سننه
Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him also took Hijama on the hip & top of his foot, which explains that Hijamah at the painful area is also recommended by Tibb-e-Nabawi.
As reported by Anas Radi Allahu Anh that (while in Ehraam), Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H took Hijama on the top of his foot due to the pain in that area. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
